Postby surfboardfiller » Mon 19.11.2007, 19:29

I just bought this on Ebay whilst loosing a bid on the Mark Hughes book, I thought it may be of interest.

Lotus Since the 70's, Volume 1, Elite, Eclat, Excel and Elan. A Collector's Guide.

First Edition, 1993

ISBN: 0947981705

Yes, it's a little gem, with the fun content starting on page 85... ;-)

I saw that at Donington last year (along with some press release photo's of the M100) tucked away in a dusty cardboard box but forgot to go back and buy them late on the Sunday

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

FYI, this book is available at W.H.Smiths for £9.99

In fact, if you do a search there on Lotus Elan, you get quite a few different books coming up, including the Mark Hughes one for £25!
Regards
